Curiosity about what happens if you are really far away, turns out a minus score is possible somehow.

My concern with this is we'll end up recreating the failed supply-side approach to disinformation while ignoring the far more significant demand side. First is recognising the relationship between institutions, publics, and counterpublics have changed significantly.

www.maptap.gg October 12 99🔥 100🎯 94🏅 99🔥 16😝 Final score: 732 It seems harsh to not get 100 for not getting the correct centre of large cities... And on the last one I went with my second thought, would have been closer (but still far away) on where I initially thought the country was.

Ukrainian refinery strikes continue, Putin fails to export diesel which doesn't actually exist, Trump inevitably blames Zelenskyy. Rinse and repeat. The Kremlin has never played a US President easier.

The issue is that the economic benefits of public transport typically are more indirect. Bus service fares might barely cover costs, but it saves money for healthcare if people can make their own way to medical centres (routine) or they then spend money in local high streets.

Seen a video and in some ways it looks better, in other ways it looks worse. The front reminds me of an Austin Atlantic, or an early 1920s speed record car made with simple bends of metal sheet bent between two planks. In terms of conception it's kind of a modern XJS.

It still seems odd that they've made it a 4 door, a 2+2, 2 door coupe would seem more the target audience, although I suppose it's might be a more crowded market whereas 4 doors adds a bit more practicality.

James. @rbmdm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yeah it's bit odd. The 01 seems to be a GT car, for people travelling long distance, rather than a city car. Not sure how many EV equivalents there already are? I haven't much of a clue about current cars. The slab sided styling just makes it look hefty (not in a good way)

This is so disingenuous. "The kids are complaining about a lack of investment in schools but France's spending on education is actually the fifth highest in Europe." Yeah but 62% of that goes to the fucking private schools.

A bbc news briefing by Hugh Schofield.

"How France's education spending compares to other countries

Hugh Schofield
Paris Correspondent

The students are complaining about lack of investment in education, but how does France compare to other developed countries in the money it spends on schools and universities?

According to the European Union, France’s spending on education relative to GDP is the fifth highest in the EU27, behind Sweden, Finland, Belgium and Denmark.

The absolute amount it spends per student in education is just below the EU average.

According to the OECD, France spends close to the OECD average per student – but with strong differences depending on the age group.

It spends below the average for primary and lower secondary education. But it spends 24% more than the average for upper secondary – i.e. lycées."

I feel you should add "Average" to that headline, it was already above that locally for at least the past week, if not longer.

How much are these vehicles expected to be used on UK minor roads? It'd be interesting to compare the footprint of these. Presumably in most places these are expected to operate size is somewhat irrelevant. presumably crash-worthiness though would be a consideration though.

I want to give up Facebook, if it's not AI crap it's far right "influencers" asking questions... I suspect this AI seems to be mixing US and UK audiences. Either that or I'm the only one who eats my crisps cold...

I want to get off Facebook, but groups just seem to work well there, with being able to reply to comments without upsetting threads. BlueSky should introduce groups, allowing private/hidden ones. Ultimately Zucc will ruin groups anyway...
